True words that have withstood the test of time. How do I know...try this experiment...sit in your favorite chair for the day (I suggest a day when you don't have to go to work) and don't venture to do anything...just sit. The goal is to see how much you accomplish.
My Uncle Paul (of no relation) once said something to me that was so profound it stuck with me and I kinda live my life by it..it's my secondary motto.
He said: " Take up a pencil. (Which I did) "Now TRY to drop it..." (Which again I did....nothing happened..the pencil was still in my hand) "See...you can't try to do anything...you either do it or you don't"
There I was, the young jedi, and Yoda's words hit me...of course it would've sounded something like this if it were Yoda-'Try it you cannot, do it you must"
It's not always easy to achieve something, sometimes you try your hardest and you don't succeed. Reality is you failed, don't let the word try become your excuse not to succeed. People have the tendency to say 'I tried..now I give up'
It should be- "I tried...I failed...now I succeed."
If one way didn't work you try another...there's more than one way to skin a cat.
You just have to find the way that works for you.
Nothing ventured is ever gained and you cannot try...just do

Or maybe your path was to skin a dog. You also have to open your eyes to possibilities and know when you must walk a different path.
